Harmattan season is the season most ladies struggle with their hair because of the change in weather. The dryness and dust is no fun at all.
Personally, my hair starts acting up during Harmattan, it gets so dry and tends to break and split. I make extra efforts to take care of my hair during this season.
Don’t worry, all hope is not lost because I have few tips to help you not end up hairless at the end of this harmattan season.
1. Drink water and keep hydrated!
Let this be a habit, this is generally important not just for your hair but your health as a person. Keep a bottle of warm water with you at all times.
2. Avoid dust.
This is difficult to do since Harmattan comes along with dust but the good news is scarfs are the trend now, so, wrap your hair in a fashionable way and still keep it protected.
3. Trim your hair if needed.
Your hair is likely to experience some dryness and breakage around this season. Don’t let that split ends get worse. Get a trusted hairdresser and get that trim you deserve.
4. Protective hairstyle.
This is one of my favorite idea, looking cute and at the same time protecting my hair. What can possibly go wrong?
Protective hairstyles help protect ends which are the oldest and most fragile part of the hair, from breakage allowing the hair to grow and stay healthy. Now go get that cute braids or wig or weave you’ve had saved on your phone for months. Look cute!
5. Moisturize! Moisturize!! Moisturize!!!
Use water based cream or hair cream such as Shea butter, coconut oil and other natural oils to moisturize your hair to prevent breakage. My natural hair folks now is the time to invest in spray bottle to help you re-moisturize your hair from time to time.
Take care of yourself and your hair more during this season. Let me know if these tips was helpful in any way.
Happy harmattan!!
Okay madam
